Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia died today and already the Democratic party is fundraising off his death.
In an email sent out by the Democratic National Committee, supporters are asked to chipping in some money for the coming Supreme Court nomination fight.

Ghouls.
Cause of death of Scalia still unknown too at this time.
I’m not into conspiracies but I can’t put it past the opposition.
Why wouldn’t they?
This has the potential to fully achieve Obama’s legacy.
Okay, KHOU has a story that it is going to be ruled that Scalia died of a heart attack.
This could turn into a monumental struggle. Any bets on how long it will take for Senate Republicans to fold? I’ll be shocked if they make it to Easter.
If Obama appoints this replacement justice, then a majority, 5 out of 9 justices, will be very very liberal.
So much for balance on the Supreme Court.
Sometimes you have to pick a hill to die on, according to an old saying.
is this the hill the GOP wants to fight and die on, in the battle to replace Scalia?? Will they fight and vote to reject liberal nominees? will they filibuster? Will they simply put it off till after the presidential election, and then the new president gets to choose???
We’ll see...........
‘Fundraise off’ - I hate this formulation.
Gauche grammar aside, there is a vast difference between ‘soliciting funds by referring to notable current events’ and actually depositing the cash.
Moreover, is there really any distinction between one day and the next in the political begging bowl game?

Yep, that’s democrats...
I give Republicans a week before they cave, yes I see it coming. Obama will nominate the first Muslim Supreme Court Justice, the media will call Republicans racist for not appointing him/her and that will be it. The media has already been given their marching orders by Obama, started right after Scalia died, calling Republicans the party of “No” if they go against Obama, racist, etc etc etc
What is one life to a death cult responsible for the death by abortion of 1.4 million babies every year?
For democrats, the dead are nothing but step stools used by them to push their agenda, grasp power or redistribute some wealth to themselves.
Sometimes all three at once.
Consider how they act after every mass shooting.
Before the body bags make it to the morgue they use the event to harangue conservatives and push their gun control agenda.
They are despicable examples of humanity.
Here in Wisconsin, the miserable slugs will findraise off any tragedy.
Western Easter or Orthodox Easter? </sarc>
your kidding if you don’t think the Repubs aren’t going to fundraise off this as well.
It’s all republicans do. They don’t actually do anything meaningful, except give speeches, and promise to do this or do that, but they will let Obama make the appointment because that will translate into even more fundraising down the road.
The republicans worst nightmare would be for a right winger to be appointed to the bench. How could they fund raise off of that?
Either one, or the next even numbered weekday, whichever comes first.
Since the post mortem has not been done— how could they say that- unless the story is planted.
Blood draw at the resort— for enzyme confirm of a coronary attack— was that done?
Way too many variables.... except his smoking and love of food.
This is one major hill in the battle in the war— and YES the repubs should not allow any appointment to go forward— and make certain the public knows that it is up to the public in a “lame duck” presidency— to elect the next president to nominate and a Congress to approve his replacement. Keep saying this to the public— the public that feels they are LEFT out and which the democrats continue, within their own party— to demonstrate that their members have NO voice with the superdelegates already for hitlery.
This is knife edge tension for the stability of the nation.
Conspiracies are only for those that are with it enough to understand
Recall episodes from the series— “Six Feet Under”.... that is who the democrats are— vampires of political power over the individual. Ghouls.
Definitely no appointment should be allowed
